take say a RRHP, PC, or something along those lines with a carbon fork, low flange track hubs, lighter rims, possibly tubular, any track crank, light seat post like Thomson, light seat, alloy bars and stem, and there you go.
you could even save weight buy running the smallest chain ring and and cog possibly for the inches you want, to cut some weight and chain links.
most of the weight in track bikes comes from the threaded stems, heavy highflange hubs, deep/heavy rims, and bars we use.
Yep. I'm still surprised how light my bike is. The other thing to keep in mind is clipless pedals are going to weigh less than big MKS track pedals with metal clips and double straps or something..
